Baby.....
Well, it's now getting towards the final countdown for mini-Roo's appearance and so myself and Mr Roo thought it was about time we actually got our posteriors in gear and starting thinking about getting some baby things.....After spending 45 minutes in the country's largest Mothercare we both started to regret the decision.....I mean, how many different types of plastic bath and changing mat can you need for heaven's sake.... if it's plastic and does the job then who needs more??? I was amazed that none of the shops have a 200 quid all in bog standard set of everything essential so there is no need to trawl round the shop looking for all the bits that you will probably never use and pass on to your friend to never use too.....but do they have that? do they hell?And as for pushchairs/prams/travel systems/3 in 1s/2 in 1s/buggies/strollers/space rockets/cars/tricycles/quadbikes, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc the list is blooming endless!!!! We have opted for the newborn safe (AKA has a lie down position) two in one pushchair and car seat combo which weighed less than a Sherman tank (trust me, it is tricky to find such an item) and would fit in the boot of a car smaller than a stretch limo.....Luckily, my mum and dad kept my travel cot from when I was little, so mini-Roo will be sleeping in that in our bedroom, before being transferred to a cot donated by Mr Roo's sister (she bought another one because she didn't like the colour........ and also probably because it wasn't designer whatever :blink: :o ).We've bought 7 little vest/baby grown things and 7 sleep suits and a cardi, and I am refusing to buy more until we have a better idea how big it is (after all, Mr Roo can always leg it to town to buy more if they are needed)....I've also bought some real nappies and a couple of squeaky jangly toys, and apart from a few other bits and bobs that's my lot...I refuse to be pushed into buying more crap!!! BTW....I had to leave Mothercare after 45 minutes....I could feel myself losing the will to live....
